Classic case of a lazy player with lots of physical talent but no effort or heart having a career year during a contract season, and then signing a long term deal with a team and going back to not trying.

I agree with a lot of what you said. But out of any coach I'll take my chances with Coughlin getting him to play hard. Reid didn't really run a tight ship when it came to discipline and accountability in Philly.

He's the type of player that'll end up in Coughlin's doghouse. He's dynamic though, when he's not fumbling.

I doubt he makes the team. This type of pick up concerns me. It makes me think GM and coach are not on the same page. Which has always been a concern of mine. Reese giving square pegs for Coughlin to put in round holes.

An impact rookie starter at receiver plus Cotchery would probably be an overall upgrade over 2013, minus maybe Ginn's deep threat (Ginn being the biggest loss may speak enough about our receiver situation). That being said, if said rookie takes a while to adapt or just busts in general, we'll be ******.

way worse players out there than cotchery, guy is just the epitome of solid.

Steelers have a little urgency at WR, which is a good thing i think. As much as i want them to retain cotch, sanders needed to go, signing him is a commitment to mediocrity. Brown just had an amazing season, I imagine heath will be better and fully rehabbed to put up a season like his career best 2012, and they will almost certainly draft a WR with pick 1 (evans, lee, ebron) or 2(Moncrief, Robinson, Benjamin, matthews).

Nate Washington would be the fourth option on my hypothetical Panthers team and would be a #3 for you guys in an ideal world.

Justin Hunter was raw coming out (I liked him, though) and hasn't done anything to show that he's going to be an NFL player yet.

Delanie Walker should be a backup.

So, yeah. I think that's a bad group. It's Kendall Wright and nobody. It really needs that big #1 wideout (or even just a game-changing TE) that Kenny Britt was supposed to be (and that Justin Hunter might someday be).

Hunter has shown that he can do something in the NFL compared to McNutt. And Washington's and Cotchery's career numbers are very similar, with Washington's being slightly better.

Not arguing Olsen and Walker, because its clear who is better.

But even with a starting calibre draftee for Carolina and potentially signing Cotchery, now sure how its exactly better, unless Olsen really puts it over the top for you.

But at the same time, Olsen started 5 more games than Walker but only had 13 more catches and the same amount of TDs.

If a position is not used in a team's first offensive or defensive snap of the game, no player at that position is credited with a start...even if that position is used on every single snap following.

Example: on 10/10 against the Giants, no Bears tight end is credited with a start, but Martellus Bennett had 6 catches for 68 yards, good for second on the team. He was on the field for most of the game. The first snap had a fullback and an extra tackle, so no tight ends were credited with a start...but 3 offensive tackles were.

Same for rotations. If your backup running back plays snap 1 and your bellcow plays snaps 2-60, your 1-snap backup gets the start...even if he gets zero carries and your main guy runs for 200 yards.

Games started are not a meaningful indicator of playing time. Only snap counts are.

...and catches/yards =/= skillz. Even if Walker had managed to get more than Olsen, Olsen would still be a better receiving option.

Also, I learned today that Titans fans have gone so long without an offense that they've become super proud of almost-average players like Nate Washington and Delanie Walker.

I wasn't sure if he was kidding or not with his statement. Titans definitely don't have world beaters.

He was playing out of position, the team was a mess, the front of the defense was awful, he was probably mad (rightfully) they brought in Nnamdi. They didn't live up to the hype, they had a lameduck coach.

If there were ever circumstances that a player wouldn't give his all - it was a talented guy like DRC in that mess. Nnamdi was eating alone in his car at the time.

I'm not saying it's OK - what I'm saying is that those circumstances aren't going to happen in NY, and in ARI and DEN he was good, so...

He was only good for ONE year in Arizona: his rookie year, and that was the year Kurt Warner was having an MVP year and took them to the Super Bowl. Every other year in Arizona he graded out as one of the worst CBs in football.

The only other times he has played well were a.) the first 4 weeks of the 2012 season in Philly and b.) his contract year in Denver.

So basically, you're getting an otherwise terrible CB who has tried hard exactly three times in his NFL career despite being in the league since 2008.

Now, I respect Tom Coughlin as a coach, but I don't think that he's that much more of a miracle worker than Andy Reid so much so that he will suddenly get DRC to care about football 100% of the time, especially now that DRC has likely signed the last big contract of his NFL career and received his guaranteed money.

The man has a career 81 QB rating against, primarily playing man coverage against a top 2 receiver. Lets not dumb down the conversation by referencing PFF CB grades. Their #2 CB in 2012 didn't even make a team in 2013.
